The V's Top Picks for Her < $50
It’s the middle of November and you’d have to be living under a rock not to notice that the Holiday Season is nearly upon us. Christmas trees have lined the store windows - some since September (Costco, I’m looking at you!!) and I’ve been procrastinating thinking about the Holidays until now. With recent events no longer sucking the life out of me (thank you, US election, sheesh) I can no longer put it off. So as part of my PSA for the year, here are my picks for some of the best gifts for your bestie, sister, Mom, piano teacher, or any favourite female for under fifty bucks. On Wednesday, we’ll raise the bar a little higher to see what my picks are for your favourite gal for under a hundred bucks.
